For method 3, the default method, it starts at 1 and increases if needed. So
that one is kind of automatic.

Simply put, density can be used alone to control any emission and/or
absorption being used to act as a kind of fog. Scattering can be used alone
or with those things for interacting with the light sources in various ways.
And that's about as simplistic as it gets until you try going about doing
something with it.
That was kind of a joke, BTW. I think most the difficulty is not knowing
when to settle for a certain appearance. Seriously though, I still struggle
along when I think I'm going to brighten up the air with media and
everything goes dark instead.
